Pretty glaring flaw...so glad I checked that first or I would have found myself locked out of my own account!

Oh, and the same thing happens on Amazon.ca. It correctly lists my mobile number as being in Canada, but it keeps sending the verification code to a U.S. number.

And edited again...I clicked the link for advanced security settings on Amazon.ca, and I get a page with nothing on it.
Considering that the US and Canada share a country code, shouldn't it just be necessary to put your area code in?
